Union Pacific Employes at Omaha Go Out on a Strike, Men at Several Other Points Refuse to Answer Call of the Leaders. OMAHA, June 30.—In accordance with a prearranged plan a formal order was is- sued early this morning by Vice Presi- dent L. T. Wilson of the International Association of Machinists for a general strike of Union Pacific machinists, which order went into effect at 10 o'clock. The men demand an increase of wages and that the company abandon the recently adopted plece-work system. The number of men who walied out at the large shops of the system was not great, but the or- der was generally obeyed. Already the number of men at work has been greatly depleted by the closing down of shops at Omeha, Cheyenne, North Platte and Arm- strong, Kans., and-the curtailment of work at a number of small shops by the company. The machinists, however, in- clude as strikers the entire regular force of all these shops, and have begun paying strike benefits to all of their members who were employed before the closing down of the shops. Vice President Wilson said t the benefits would be paid to nearly 1500 men. To this number 200 boil- er-makers are added, making the total number affected 1700. Railroad declare that these figures are too high, but have given out no estimate. Reports were received at railroad head- quarters by General Manager Dickinson that the men at Grand Island, Nebr., and Evanston, Wyo., had refused to strike. hi ght sent & commi- ike leaders say this point and that the men understand the position The committee expects to hinists out at Evanston in & day or two. STRIKERS FEEL CONFIDENT. President K gation of bo there were nnedy of the local organi- er-makers said to-day that but three boiler-makers at e system. nd e The tra ngine men will not be drawn int strike. Leaders of these branches of t rvice say it is not their fight, and that no thought has been given 10 the question of a sympathetic strike. The machinists also agree that they do not expect to receive any assistance from any other labor organizations, contenting themselves with the statement that the railroad cannot run its trains for any great length of time without machinists and boiler-makers, which they say can- not be secured. Pickets will be placed at shops and passenger stations to keep the officers of the union notified of the ar- rival of new men, and at all large cities local committees ' will keep the local boiler-makers’ officials notified if men are hired to come to this city.

It makes a lot of difference in hot weather the kind of food one eats. You can keep the body cool if you breakfast on Grape-Nuts, for in its pre- digested form it presents the least res ance to the digestive organs and contains &s much nutriment as heavy body heat- ing food, such as meat, potatoes, ete. Grape-Nuts is probably entitled to the claim to be the most perfectly ,adapted 100d for human needs now extant.

When Grape-Nuts and Postum Foo Coffee constitute the summer breakfast with the addition of a little fruit it is not necessary to seek the ocean breezes for comfort, for external heat is unnoticed ‘when internal coolness from proper food is felt.

Convention Decides to Send a Commission Around the World. DENVER, Colo., June 30.—The tenth tri- ennial convention of the International Sunday School Convention finished its ses- sions to-day #nd adjourned sine di¥. An important change in the Sunday school lessons, that which provides for a begln- ner’s course, was made, although the more important proposition, and the one | most bitterly opposed throughout the con- vention, namely an advanced course for adult members, was overwhelmingly de- feated. A resolution was reported favoring an advanced course, but Dr. Thomas E. Neely of New York aroused such a strong feeling against it In his speech in favor of a substitute offered by himself to the effect that the time was not yet ripe for such an addition to the course that the | substitute went through almost unani- mously.

NEW YORK, June 30.—Louis Disbrow, for whom a warrant was issued last week by the authorities of Suffolk County, Long Island, in connection with the deaths by drowning of Sarah Lawrence and Clarence Foster, is now in jail at Riverhead, L. L The drowning of the two young people | has been a mystery which the county of- ficials have for weeks been trying to clear up. All that was positively known was that the two, with Disbrow, had been to- gether the greater part of the night at resorts in the eastern end of Long Island. There were stories told of a carouse. Fos- ter and the girl dropped out of sight. Dis- brow went to his home at Good Ground and then disappeared, and three days later the bodies of Foster and the Law- rence girl were found floating in Tiana Bay, not far from where the party of three had been last seen. No one could be found to_tell how drowned, and there was a call for Dis- to come forward to explain what he knew of the affair. The Coroner after an official examination of the bodies could find no trace of violence. “Then, in response to a public demand, the Dis- trict Attorney &nd the Coroner held an | and again the report was that | autopsy, there were no evidences of murder.

Outlaws Make Their Escape After Riddling Victims ‘With Bullets. GUTHRIE, O. T., June 30.—Sheriff A. J. Bullard and Under Sheriff Cogburn of | Roger Mills County, Oklahoma, were killed this afternoon in a battle with horse thieves. The officers were attempt- | ing to arrest members of the band of out- {laws. The fight occurred in the north- east portion of the county and continued | for about thirty minutes, the outlaws finally surrounding the two officers and riddling them with bullets. The band | made its escape, supposedly uninjured, | although the Sheriffs put up a plucky | fight.

All the amateur bouts resulted in victories for the Englishmen, but the | Americans gave remarkable displays of | gameness. The first contest was between heavy- | weights. Dodge of Harvard was much smaller than his_opponent, F. Parkes of the Polytechnic Boxing Club, who is the amateur heavy-weight champion. In the | course of the second round of the contest both, men landed a number of heavy blows. Dodge was the first to weaken, but he fought a resolute third round, and at times looked decidedly dangerous. Parkes, however, got the verdict on points ‘and Dodge was vociferously ap- plauded for his gallant stand. In the middle-weight contest Wenck of Yale met R. C. Warns of the Lynn Box- ing Club, who is the amateur middle- weight champion. The American had all the advantage of the rapid exchanges at the opening, but eventually Warns acted on the defensive and by the number of facial hits he got a lead which enabled him to win comfortably. The contest was remarkable for the good - feellng shown by both boxers. In the lightweight bouts Cats of the University of Kansas, who was fully twenty pounds lighter than his opponent, A. Warner of the Highgate Harriers, who is the amateur lightweight champion, and much regret was expressed at this differ- ence in weight. In spite of the dispropor- tion Cats put up a good fight. Just before the end of the opening round the Ameri- can was groggy from a succession of blows on the head, and Tommy West, his second, wanted to give up for him. Cats, however, insisted upon another attempt, but with no better result, and the referee stopped the fight before the second round was completed. | hearing.

NEVADA, June 30.—A fire that threat- ened the destruction of the entire town visited Washington, Nevada County, this morning at 2 o’clock. While the populace slept an incendiary applied the torch with the evident purpose of destroying the business portion of thé place. A Chinese happening along discovered smoke issuing from Dugan’s Hall. The alarm was given and the residents—women assisting the men—turned out to fight the flames, which had gained great headway. The water diteh above Washington had run dry and the fire fighters were compelled to use buckets. Although all worked with a will to stay the fire, it ate its way through a block of business houses, and then at- tacked the residences. The loss will ag- gregate about $10,000, with insurance of about half that amount. Only the fact that there was no breeze prevented the destruction of the entire town. The losses are as follows: Mrs. W. J. Dugan, Town Hall, $1000, insurance $300; Mrs. W. J. Dugan, blacksmith shop, 3500, no insurance; Kramer & Camper, meat market, building and _fixtures, $2500; George_Cloud, saloon and buildin, 5003 T. T. Redmayne, residence, $00; W. E. Yeaw, residence, $300. The people of Washington are up in arms over the dastardly attempt to burn down their town. They have a strong sus- picion as to the gullty person. For some time past residents have been annoyed by having their dogs poisoned, while at night women have been followed by a mysteri- ous person in black. Children on their way to school have picked up pieces of bread on which was scattered polson. All of this is believed to have been the work of the culprit who was responsible for this morning’s fire, ITALIAN SCAVENGERS TAKE APPEAL TO CIRCUIT COURT Contend That the Garbage Crematory Is a Monopoly That Taxes Householders. An appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals has been taken by the defendants in the case of the Sanitary Reduction Works of San Francisco against the California Reduction Com- pany and 151 Italians, constituting the Scavengers’ Protective Union. In Janu- ary of this year United States Circuit Judge Morrow issued a decree in favor of the plaintiff and decided that the mu- nicipal ordinance giving the monopoly of burning the garbage of all the residents of San Franeisco to the plaintiff was a valid ordinance. The defendants will claim on the appeal that ashes, broken glass, paper and rags, old tcmato and oyster cans and swill have a commercial value, and that the ordinance prevents the owners of this precperty from disposing of it, for in- stance, by shipping it into other counties and States, and also forces the owners to dispose of their property to the plaintiff not cnly without remuneration for the same, but at their own expense, all of which they will claim to be an injustice which virtually imposes a tax upon all the householders of the city for the bene- fit of a monopoly. —_—— RECOGNIZES EWELL SIDE OF UNION LABOR PARTY Election Commission Decides Between Opposing Factions for Head- ing on Official Ballot. The, Board of Election Commissioners decided yesterday to grant the petition of the faction of the Union Labor party headed by A. H. Ewell, chairman, to have the party heading printed on the official ballot at the coming primaries. A second petition filed by the wing of the party of which W. P. Delaney is chairman was denied.

Carl Spelling represented the Dela- ney side, while C. A. Son ana M. M. Miller appeared for Ewell. Delaney con- tended that his side represented the Un- ion Labor party, although its petition was not signed by a majority of the commit- tee. He gave testimony that the commit- tee was organized in December, but his opponents had bolted the meeting and or- anized another committee. The Election ‘ommission decided that the Ewell peti- tion was entitled to be filed, as it was signed by thirteen members, or 2 major- ity of the committee. ——— CITY AND COUNTY BANK OPENS DOORS TO-DAY Is First Institution of Its Kind to Be Located South of Market Street.
